Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Why choose a hog roast in Crawley?
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
